NMS Parent/Student Handbook 
All NMS Students reviewed the NMS Student Handbook at the start of the school year. Students enrolling into NMS after the start of the school year are informed to read the handbook, as they will be held accountable regarding the policies and expectations in the handbook. The NMS School Administration reserves the right to make changes to the handbook throughout the school year to best meet the needs of the students.
